Now that several major music festivals in California have already unveiled their plans for 2025 and the calendar has started to fill up this spring, it feels like festival season is just around the corner.

So, why not throw another one on your itinerary?

Following a sold-out affair that saw Kaytranada, J.I.D, Weezer, Dominic Fike, Beck, Mt. Joy and more take the stage last year, Wonderfront Festival is primed for a big return to San Diego this May.

The three-day event has put together another eclectic lineup of artists, and its fourth edition in the last seven years won’t be lacking in star power with Peggy Gou, Daniel Caesar, Anderson .Paak & the Free Nationals, Foster the People, Khruangbin, Jason Mraz and Gary Clark Jr. listed in the biggest font.

Below the top line are plenty of other top-notch acts to catch, including Duke Dumont, Janelle Monáe, The Fray, Isaiah Rashad, Portugal. The Man, 4 Non Blondes, Overmono, SiR, Julien Baker & Torres, Freddie Gibbs, Neon Trees, Leon Thomas, STRFKR, La Lom, Cavetown, Magdalena Bay, Allen Stone, Jordan Ward, Peter Cat Recording Co., Vacations, DRAMA, Orion Sun, Donovan Frankenreiter, Erick the Architect, EKKSTACY, Jalen Ngonda and a whole lot more. Peep the poster above to see who else has been booked to perform.

We would be remiss to also mention there’s a TBA spot on Sunday … who will it be? We have no idea but hope to follow up here with an update once we know more.

In the meantime, those who are interested in purchasing three-day or single-day GA tickets for $375 or $165, respectively, can head here with the presale beginning a couple of days before the public sale on Friday, February 14th. GA+ admission will also be available for $599 (three-day) and $275 (single-day), with VIP passes priced at $899 (three-day) and $399 (single-day).

As the weather warms up in SoCal, this is one fest you won’t want to overlook!

As wildfires continue to rage in Los Angeles almost a week after they exploded all across the city on the same day BeachLife Festival revealed its plans for this year, another California music festival has made its own known.

But unlike Southern California mainstays Coachella and Lightning in a Bottle that both delivered their 2025 lineups earlier than usual, BottleRock up north in Napa Valley has remained mostly on schedule with the announcement of its latest roster not too far into the new year.

And after booking one of its best bills in 2024, the three-day event has secured another strong one with Green Day, Justin Timberlake and Noah Kahan headlining its 12th edition.

Meanwhile, an undercard just below the poster’s top line that boasts Benson Boone, Khruangbin, Cage the Elephant, Ice Cube, Sublime, Kaskade, Rebelution, Carin León, Goose, SOFI TUKKER and Public Enemy awaits over Memorial Day weekend.

Other notable acts who are scheduled to perform include 4 Non Blondes, Remi Wolf, E-40, Flo Rida, KALEO, Mon Laferte, Lawrence, Beach Bunny, The Story So Far, Dope Lemon, Allen Stone, Sharon Van Etten & The Attachment Theory, DRAMA, Lauren Mayberry, Robby Krieger of The Doors and so many more. Check out the full list above to find out the other artists getting “the first taste of summer” this May, which also features the always entertaining Williams-Sonoma Culinary Stage where several celebrity chefs team up with a wide variety of musicians and athletes to cook up something special.

Tickets can be purchased here beginning this Tuesday, January 14th at 10 a.m. PT with three-day GA passes selling for $456 plus fees while VIP, Skydeck and Platinum status have already sold out. Snag them while you can because they won’t be around forever!

BottleRock - 2025 daily lineups

UPDATE (January 15th): BottleRock has followed up this week’s big announcement with its 2025 daily lineups. Green Day and Sublime will lead the pack on Friday, while Timberlake and Boone hit the stage Saturday before Kahan and Khruangbin close out the fest on Sunday.

Single-day tickets go on sale here this Friday, January 16th at 10 a.m. PT with GA listed for $233 and VIP set at $598. Three-day GA passes are still available, but don’t expect that to last for long!
